Best handles, passer, and court awareness for an NBA PG ever in my opinion. There might be better ones in street ball, but none of them could make the NBA, what to speak of having the balls to do those moves on the big stage.

"If you don't like that, you don't like NBA Basketball!" That's my favorite Jason Williams call of all time. For at least that one play, Williams wasn't regarded as the best White player, or even the best Point Guard in the NBA. In that moment, Jason Williams WAS Basketball.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Nobody even comes close to him as a passer. Just extraordinary! Kuddos to those guys running the passing lanes and getting in the right spots to make it all work. Moving without the ball is a skill. They were all just so smooth. Who wouldn’t want to play with Jason Williams? Geez. That’s legendary stuff! Patrick😊👍🏻👍🏻

[@ScotchIrishTarheel]

You're absolutely right. Moving without the ball is a GREAT skill that many players just never get. Moving the ball around the floor simultaneous to players moving around the floor is not as simple as it seems. That's why the Triangle Offense is one of the epitomes of getting players open for passes. In real-time the players read the defense and make the right decisions as to where and whom to pass the ball to get the best shot. It requires high IQ players. It's like taking the basic two-man give-and-go and multiplying the interactions and possibilities by ten.

[@kokkiat]

Wish there is someone having his skills in this era

[@fonkamex]

Maybe Lonzo Ball? ..... I am joking of course.

[@justincase4892]

Skills ? , Yes, but the Showmanship? There's no one. I remember his no look passes, while winking to the press or fans in the crowd. I remember his shouting " Woo ! " right before threading a perfect pass. Perhaps not the most skilled, but definitely one of the most entertaining basketball players who ever stepped on the court. It looked like he was having fun out there.

Lámelo had it but he’s injured too much and will likely fade away from stardom.
